At O’Dowd, we believe in the power of community to lift each other up and open doors for the next generation. The Transforming Lives Dinner is our signature event, bringing together parents, alumni, and friends to raise funds for tuition assistance and ensure that every student has a place here, regardless of financial circumstances.

As we mark our schools 75th Anniversary, this year’s event promises to be an unforgettable celebration of connection, generosity, and hope for the future.

This year’s event will include:

A reception with live music by O'Dowd's string orchestra

Seated dinner in the beautifully transfomed Knauss Gymnasium

Keynote Speaker: Caitlin Meyer '08

Student speakers who bring to life the experience of an O’Dowd education

Auction-style paddle raise for tuition assistance

Together, we can open doors for students and shape the future of O’Dowd.
